The design itself wasn’t my own idea, I was inspired by a very similar one on the Rubber Stamp Tapestry blog. They used yarn and a different bird image. I impovised with the sets I had.

Good old Adirondack inks, cover all occassions. Took me ages to collect the whole range, but it has been such a good investment. I used to shy away from the Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets when I only had odds n ends of ink pads. With the collection I have now, I can pretty much do any of the images I have from these sets.

My Easter ‘egg’ I bought myself arrived today from Joanna SHeen’s shop… will show you next week what it was.

I think it came out spendid! It’s funny how we often come up with wonderful things when we work with what we have?

I have all (except the new) Distress Inks, all the Ranger Archival, have quite a few of the Ancient Page inks and all 24 of the mini Momento inks, and some of the Adirondack Dye inkpads. I don’t have the Adirondack Pigment inks, but I have loads of the colorbox eye pads in pigment and chalk inks. Don’t ask me why I have so many, I started buying them years ago and kept thinking I needed them all – LOL! I do buy (or at least try) the re-inkers as well. So some of these pads are old, but continue to work because I re-ink them. I’m hoping to start getting the Adirondack colorwash sprays a bit at a time.

I only got the Momento inks because I got one set of 12 free for doing demos at a Rubber Stamp Store opening about a year ago. I started teaching a few classes there and got the 2nd set for less than half of what the owner paid, so how could I say no? LOL! Of course, I don’t have the re-inkers for those yet, and it will be a bit before I do, the store moved to another location so I’m not teaching there anymore. Too much with working a full time job and then trying to commute to the store which is far from where I live. But I do miss those bargain prices!
